Enhanced Na\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e/H\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e Exchange During Ischemia and Reperfusion Impairs Mitochondrial Bioenergetics and Myocardial Function [PDF]
, 2008 Inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) during ischemia reduces cardiac injury due to reduced reverse mode Na+/Ca2+ exchange. We hypothesized that activating NHE-1 at buffer pH 8 during ischemia increases mitochondrial oxidation, Ca2+ overload, and reactive ...
